Top 10 Home Improvement Repair Projects

Spring is here and it’s time to start spring cleaning and getting to those odd-job fix-it jobs you’ve been putting off. There’s tons of stuff to do — they don’t call the home a money-pitt for nothing!

According to Service Magic, a clearinghouse for 40,000 pre-screened contractors, here’s the 10 top requests for home-related repair & projects…

Additions & Remodeling

Roofing & Gutters

Painting

Maid Service (cleaning, move-in/out)

Doors & Windows

Decks

Siding

Flooring

Heating & Cooling (A/C)

Plumbing

Of course, some of this is obvious, but I didn’t know so many people actually want to hire people to come clean their homes (look how high Maid Services ranked at #4 on the list!).

I’ve been a big fan of ServiceMagic for years now and find that it’s time to head over to their site to put in another quote request. This time for my garage doors that suddenly decided to go on strike and not open and close when I want them to…and saying open sesame as my kids suggested didn’t work either! (that always used to work!)
